Doing better! Thank you to the forum!

This is the most significant chapter of my life. I wish I could even say what all has changed in the 6 short months since I came here.

Your friendship and guidance have brought about powerful changes in me. I honestly wouldn’t be where I am without you. Saying merely “Thank you” could never be enough. Each time I try and give hope on this forum, I do it in honor of you.

What has changed? Physical changes as subtle as dark to dawn. When do you call it Daylight? First hint of gray or full sunshine? Doesn’t matter.

When I came here, I was down. Down for the count and Out. No hope. Lost. Overwhelmed.

The lessons have come slowly. But you were patient. It’s hard to “see,” what this world is mostly blind to.

My heart is filled with excitement. Fear has crept under a big rock. I won’t be digging it out.

I am unrecognizable to myself, so much has changed. That’s why I am no longer sad this happened to me. I can see the horizon. It’s glorious. I’m hiking on.

 

Hi Diana,
Great news!
Observing from a distance I see you've used the Forum skillfully, asking questions, doing your homework, sharing your experience. I'm really happy for you.

 

Thanks, Andy! I realized the post might sound like it’s a good bye—- just want to clarify, it’s not. It’s more like a love letter to the forum and recognizing I’m changing, even if drastic symptom relief hasn’t come yet. I’m just really thankful!

 

Beautiful post, Diana! What a great message of hope!

 

You are an exemplary Forum member, Diana, and a joy to interact with! You embody the phrase "you get out of it what you put into it". So happy to read about all your progress.

 

Thank you Tamara @TG957 and @Ellen! You have helped me so much!

 

You’re on your way out. You got this.

 

Nice to see you've improved! awesome!!
